Zimbabwe is coming into this series after the Bangladesh tour, where they had participated in a T20I tri-series facing the hosts and Afghanistan. On the other hand, both Singapore and Nepal last featured in the T20 World Cup Qualifier in July where Singapore beat Nepal to win the final.

The visiting teams will face off in the opener on Friday with Singapore taking the field on the very next day to face a Nepal side led by Paras Khadka. There is only one rest day during the series on September 30 after the conclusion of the first round of matches.
